Appendix Two
Forward by Dame Molly Gibbs
(First President of the National Musicamp Association)
for the First Edition of The Story of Musicamp
I was delighted to have this opportunity to express my great appreciation of all those responsible for the success of Musicamp-particularly, of course, the enthusiastic Wilfred Budd, its founder, and Rita. I am so glad that she will be with you all to celebrate this 25th Anniversary. Wilfred was the instigator and driving force during his lifetime and there are now plenty of enthusiasts to keep it going.
I congratulate John Hodgson on writing
this story and I send my wishes for the future success of Musicamp
